Everything about Snuppy totally explained
Snuppy (born
April 24 2005) is the world's first
cloned dog. This
Afghan Hound clone was created by
Hwang Woo-Suk and his team of scientists at
Seoul National University (SNU) in
South Korea. The name "Snuppy" is a combination of "SNU" and "puppy."
The researchers transferred 1,095 dog embryos into 123 females, inducing three pregnancies. One
fetus miscarried, and one clone died of pneumonia after three weeks. A
Labrador Retriever carried the third embryo to term. The team announced their success in cloning in August of 2005.
Later in 2005 Hwang Woo-Suk was found to have fabricated evidence in
stem cell research projects. This caused some to question the veracity of his other experiments, including Snuppy. In their investigation of Hwang Woo-Suk's publication, however, a team from SNU confirmed that Snuppy was a true clone of Tei, the DNA donor dog.
